A few more items unearthed from the back of my closet. These boots, while I don't wear them very often, are one of my greatest thrift scores to date. Mint condition Justin ropers? Hell yes. I bought them a few years ago when we were still in Massachusetts, there was a girl checking them out at the thrift store and I feigned disinterest until she decided against them and set them back on the shelf, and then I swooped in, grabbed them, and walked away. One big rule of successful thrift shopping? If you're undecided, put it in the cart, you can decide later. Otherwise, someone like me- who is only pretending to try on those 80s heels- might be lurking in the shadows to snatch up those boots. The more you know.

Also, it felt like spring yesterday and the birds felt it too because they are chirping like mad, but now this rocky sidewalk location is blanketed in six inches of snow. Weather!

Oh my goodness, YES to putting the item your cart if unsure! I've nearly leapt over obstacles to snatch a coveted item off the rack at the thrift stores for fear of someone else getting to it first. It could be a sport, thrifting.

Julie, I just love your fabulously authentic and fresh sense of style. It oozes with creativity and I love, love how you are able to make your pieces look fresh, time and time again. Really, inspiring!! And those shoes?! Gorg, an unbelievable score! xoxo

Yes! Best thrifting advice! Those boots are such an amazing find! It feels oh so rewarding when you find something you love too. This is why I love thrifting! Your outfit is lovely too. Love how you paired it all!

Love the floral dress, but THOSE BOOTS really have my heart- what an amazing find!!! I had to do the same thing the other week while thrifting in the dress section. Usually, I have all the oversized old dresses to myself while looking, but there was an 80 year old woman in front of me picking up EVERY single floral piece she saw while I tried to not look interested! Anyway, hope you're having a great day!xo Hannah

Haha. I've definitely both been a thrift store lurker and been lurked in a thrift store. What a bunch of weirdos us thrift shoppers are. Love the denim jacket, I just bought a new one and can't wait for some warmer temps to break it out.

Ha! Sounds accurate. Though, I usually just end up being too lazy to put anything back and just buy everything in my cart. Something about leaving treasure behind makes me feel uneasy. I can always sell what doesn't work/fit. :)

Holy moly Julie, you are so fricking beautiful!That first picture is just incredible. Ha, love that you got these through a little thrift store lurking :) makes the purchase purchase even sweeter huh?Xxx
